Governor Sindh, Turkish CG discuss joint projects
The Governor also met with participants of the 42nd and 43rd Mid-Career Management Courses at Governor House Karachi.
Governor Sindh strongly condemned the terrorist attack on security personnel in North Waziristan, attributing responsibility to India. He declared the martyred soldiers as national heroes and paid tribute to the security forces for killing 14 terrorists. Tessori termed the attack a cowardly act and a direct assault on Pakistan's national security. He said that the bravery of the Pakistan Army foiled the enemy's nefarious designs. The Governor also prayed for the speedy recovery of the injured children and woman. He reiterated full support to the armed forces in the fight against terrorism and expressed his commitment to protecting national security.
In other engagements, Tessori welcomed Turkish Consul General Jamal Sangho at Governor House. Sangho congratulated the Governor on his recent Hajj pilgrimage and presented him with a bouquet and gifts. The two discussed bilateral relations and joint projects.
Separately, addressing the participants of the 42nd and 43rd Mid-Career Management Courses at Governor House Karachi, the Governor highlighted the success of Governor Initiatives. He explained that these programs are run through public support and private partnerships rather than government funds. Tessori informed that over 50,000 youth have benefited from the modern IT training provided at Governor House.
Highlighting various social and development projects, he emphasized transforming Governor House into a true 'People's Governor House,' accessible to the public. Despite constitutional limitations, he stressed his commitment to social welfare through personal interest and community engagement.
Tessori stated that 6,000 children in various government schools are provided daily breakfast, and 25,000 individuals receive meals from Governor House. He mentioned that 14 Governor Initiatives are actively underway, including climate change initiatives and a tree planting campaign, under which over 16,000 saplings have been planted.
Terming the youth as the nation's most valuable asset, he said they represent 62% of Pakistan's population and are the real hope for national development. The Governor further added that the IT curriculum is being extended from Karachi to Hyderabad, and incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) education into professional training is crucial.

US has revoked 6,000 student visas under Rubio: State Dept
The US State Department has revoked 6,000 student visas since Secretary of State Marco Rubio took office seven months ago, it said Monday. Rubio, to the delight of President Donald Trump's right-wing base, has proudly moved against students using an obscure law that allows him to rescind visas for people deemed to counter US foreign policy interests. The Trump administration has also more broadly sought mass deportations of people in the United States illegally. 'The State Department has revoked over 6,000 student visas for overstays and law violations, the vast majority being assault, DUI, burglary and support for terrorism,' a State Department official said. The official said that about 4,000 of the visas were for violations of the law. The State Department did not break down the visas by nationality. Rubio has vowed to be aggressive in targeting students from China. The top US diplomat in March told reporters that he was revoking visas daily, saying of activist students: 'Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visas.' He has particularly pointed to students who have protested against Israel, and accused activists of anti-Semitism, charges they deny. The administration has faced setbacks in two of the highest-profile cases. Mahmoud Khalil, a legal permanent resident in the United States who led pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University, was freed in June by a judge. Khalil, whose son was born while he was in detention, has since sued the Trump administration, saying it sought to 'terrorize' him. Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish graduate student at Tufts University who wrote a piece in a campus newspaper critical of Israel, was freed by a judge in May pending arguments. She had been taken away off a Massachusetts street by masked plainclothes agents.
